An international team led by a University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientist has created a first-of-its-kind resource ...
For decades, scientists believed the essence of life was written solely in four chemical bases: A, C, T, and G. Together, ...
Scientists have long thought of DNA as an instruction manual written in the four- chemical bases—A, C, T, and G—that make up the genetic code. The prevailing belief was that by decoding these ...
Growth charts for children with rare genetic disorders—giving health care professionals and families clearer guidance on how a child is developing—have been created by an international team, led by ...
More than 15,000 women a year who have breast cancer in the UK would benefit from tests that analyse DNA for changes or mutations, a study has suggested. Having a patient’s entire genetic readout ...
The United States leads in genetics-related output in the Nature Index, with six institutions ranking among the world’s top 10. Leading by a clear margin is Harvard University, in Cambridge, ...
Germline genetic testing can play an essential role in identifying cancer risk, guiding treatment decisions, and informing screening and/or preventive strategies for both patients and patient family ...
Don’t ever underestimate the power of DNA on your beating heart, as it can be the root cause of heart failure. Dr. Travis Hinson, a cardiologist at UConn School of Medicine is trying to fix that.
Most organisms on Earth have the same basic genetic code, but it comes with some flaws. Scientists sought to work out those errors by creating their own artificial genome, which replaced E. coli’s ...
Scientists have created Syn57, a completely synthetic bacterium with a genetic code unlike anything in nature. Unlike all known life, which uses 64 codons to build proteins, Syn57 only uses 57 — ...
We’ve heard of GMOs, but this is ridiculous. Scientists at the Medical Research Council’s Laboratory of Molecular Biology say they’ve engineered a bacteria whose genetic code is more efficient than ...
